How long does it take to play 9 holes of golf? This sounds a bit like a “how long is a piece of string” type question, but this is something that got me thinking the other day and the answer might actually tell you a few things about the sort of golfer you are and… Read More »How Long Does it Take to Play 9 Holes of Golf?
If you have stuck with me through the last couple of articles as I work my way through the putting yips, you will know that I have found at least a little bit of success by adopting a more organised method on the greens. Although the colder weather here has stopped me from really spending… Read More »Putting Yips:Grip, Stance and Other Changes
After looking briefly at the what the science says about the putting yips, it is high time we started looking at how to get rid of the damn things! As I said at the start, this series is basically a study of one. I am looking at what works for me as I try to… Read More »Using Method to Cure the Putting Yips
I thought the best place to start of my journey into the putting yips was to see exactly what the science says. I am not a scientist and want to keep this as understandable as possible (especially for me!) I will link to to some of the resources that have helped me to get a… Read More »Putting Yips Part 1: The Science
This is one article that I hoped never to write but unfortunately it looks I will have to. After having a difficult time on the green for a few years now, I think that I might be heading towards (or already in) that horrible place know as the golf putting yips🙁 As other sufferers of… Read More »The Putting Yips-a Case Study
My last article about a potential new practice net has got me thinking. At the end of that article, I mentioned what I thought might be the ultimate golf home practice set up. Now, this was little more than thinking aloud, but what if I were to go all-in and really create the best at… Read More »The Ultimate Golf Home Practice Set Up?
Golf really isn’t my only passion in life and in a previous “career” I was lucky enough to play sport at level good enough to get paid for it (although not very much!) I have, as a result, a passion for all things training-related and golf fitness training manages to combine two of my main… Read More »Golf Fitness Training
Slope is a common term in the golfing world, but is actually a little bit misleading and refers to at least two different things. Here is a simple explanation of what it is and why golf slope is important for your game. Golf Course Slope Rating The first use of slope is essentially a measure… Read More »Golf Slope: What does it Mean?
As anyone who has read my article here will know, I like all things minimal, especially in golf. This is possibly a bit strange for someone who gets through as many iron sets as I do, but it makes sense (at least to me!) Even though I enjoy playing with and testing all sorts of… Read More »What is a Minimalist Golf Swing?
Single length irons have been around for a lot longer than people think , but they have really only been the radar of the average golfer for a few years, essentially since Bryson Dechambeau has become one of the higher-profile golfers on the planet. Pinhawk vs Cobra is often one of the first questions potential single length golfers ask.
As someone who has used several sets of one length clubs and started trying them out a good couple of years before Mr Dechambeau (although slightly less-successfully!) I feel like I have a good take on all things one length. One of the most obvious questions for many people who are thinking of giving them a try is simply “which set do I get?” The definitive answer to that is probably impossible, but here are a few things to think about that might help point you in the right direction.
This isn’t going to be a “why single length?” article (although I have just done a single length FAQ that should help,) but I feel like I should start by saying that I really don’t like a lot of the stuff I read about playing with clubs that are all the same length. The main reason is that most of it is written by golfers who really haven’t tried them or a best, hit a test club a few times on the range.
Single length is a bit different. I don’t believe it is a perfect fit for everyone, but I do think it has some distinct advantages in the same way that minimalist golf (another of my golfing passions) will be great for some and not for others.. Once more, it will take another article to talk through some of those, and I promise I will get down to that soon!
It can certainly free up some mental energy on the course which is great if you are like me and struggling on the greens for example as you can see with my journey through the yips here.
